Testament: Discography (1987-2016) [Vinyl Rip 16/44 & mp3-320]

Testament is an American thrash metal band from Berkeley, California. Formed in 1983 under the name Legacy, the band's current lineup comprises guitarists Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick, lead vocalist Chuck Billy, drummer Gene Hoglan, and bassist Steve Di Giorgio. In the 34 years since its inception, Testament has had numerous lineup changes, and Peterson has been the only constant member. Billy replaced original singer Steve "Zetro" Souza (who left the band to join Exodus as the replacement of Paul Baloff) in 1986, prior to the recording of their first studio album, The Legacy, and has been a member of the band since. Peterson and Billy are the only band members to appear on every album.

Testament is often credited as one of the most popular and influential bands of the thrash metal scene, having sold over 1.4 million albums in the United States since the beginning of the SoundScan era and over 4 million copies worldwide. They are also often credited as one of the leaders of the second wave of thrash metal in the late 1980s, along with bands such as Sacred Reich, Death Angel, Destruction and Dark Angel. To date, the band has released eleven studio albums, four live albums, six compilation albums, and six singles. After signing to Atlantic Records and changing their name from Legacy to Testament in 1986, they released their debut album The Legacy in 1987, and broke into the U.S. mainstream with its follow-up album The New Order (1988). Their next four studio albums—Practice What You Preach (1989), Souls of Black (1990), The Ritual (1992) and Low (1994)—were also successful, with the former of the three entering the Top 100 on the Billboard 200 chart. Over the course of their career, Testament has experienced several resurgences of popularity (with their 2012 album Dark Roots of Earth and 2016 follow-up Brotherhood of the Snake entering the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart) and has toured consistently…
